Do or Die - Picture This

While the East and West coasts battle loudly for so-called hip-hop supremacy, the Midwest and the South are quietly emerging as new hotbeds of hip-hop talent. One non-coastal that has defined a sound of its own is Chicago, home to Common Sense, Da Brat and Crucial Conflict, and now Do Or Die, which debuts with the very funk-oriented PICTURE THIS.

Do Or Die's lyrics concentrate on the usual gangsta subjects of pimpin' and hustlin'. But the music, built on slow, bass-and-keyboard-heavy tracks, is as much funkster music as it is gangster music. The sound is not unlike that on the Geto Boys early albums. A guest appearance by Tung Twista, the world's fastest rapper, adds extra flavor to the relatively laid-back grooves of "Po Pimp," "Paperchase" and "Money Flow."

Recorded at Creator's Way Studios, Chicago, Illinois and Lil J Studio, Houston, Texas.
